    The 18 players not in the squad for today's GCS game:

    6. Chris Dawes (injured), 7. Jack Viney (injured) 9. Jack Trengove (injured), 11. Mitch Clark (injured), 17. Sam Blease (injured), 23. Josh Tynan, 25. Tom McDonald (injured), 28. Joel Macdonald, 33. Dominic Barry, 34. Dean Kent, 37. Max Gawn (injured), 41. Troy Davis, 43. Rory Taggert, 44. Rohan Bail (injured), 47 Tom Couch, 48. Jack Fitzpatrick, 49. Nathan Stark, 50. Mitch Clisby.

    Some others might be carrying some niggles or will be rested today so Casey will start the season in much the same way as it usually ends for them - with very few AFL listed players.

    Expect a few more next week.

    Casey Scorpions reserves record a win 13.12.90 to 9.7.61.

    The Dolphins led at the half but the Scorps produced a barnstorming finish to run out easy winners.

    A bit of a bombshell for some - Aaron Davey playing for the Scorpions today.

    I can see Jake Spencer, Nev Jetta and Michael Evans out there too.

    Will get a team sheet shortly.

    The Casey Scorpions Team Sheet is up on the OP. I count a dozen Demons and there's one player out there who I can't recognise wearing 76.

    Our Kiwi mate?

    Our Kiwi mate?

    No, definitely not him. It could be Clisby because I can't see anyone wearing # 70 and the player wearing # 76 and seems to fit the description I have of him i.e he's medium height and blond.

    Meanwhile, although Casey has been doing most of the attacking, the Dolphins are showing more purpose and have kicked the last two goals in quick time to lead by 5 points.

    The Flash is too classy for this company. Scores his team's third goal just before quarter time.

    It's starting to drizzle a bit during the first break with the Casey Scorpions leading 3.4.22 to Frankston 2.2.14. The change in conditions is likely to have a bit of an impact on the game.

    Half time Casey Scorpions 6.8.44 to Frankston 4.5.29

    It's a very lacklustre game. Seen in the crowd, Todd Viney, former skipper and Demon great, now better known as the father of and a landlord to a few promising young Demons .

    First goal of the second half to Casey's Tim Smith and then Aaron Davey marks and kicks truly. The margin goes out to 28 points and the Scorpions are in control.

    With the rain getting heavier, we saw some great attack on the footy from Frankston which is the way to go in these conditions. The Dolphins are playing it hard and it's paying dividends as they fight back and kick two goals.

    Casey Scorpions 8.10.58 to Frankston 6.5.41.

    Casey's lead is now down to 10 points with another Dolphin goal. The Casey defenders are being caught flat footed and the team is in danger of allowing the game to slip out of its grasp.

    Three quarter time: Casey Scorpions 9.12.66 lead Frankston 8.7.55.

    There's not much to enthuse about for Demon fans. With a dozen AFL listed players on the field you would expect the home side to dominate but the reality is they're being shown up in many departments. I can only see Aaron Davey and Nev Jetta in contention for the opening game in a fortnight's time. Most of the rest either won't ever make or or are a long way off.

    KC how is Jake Spencer going in the ruck and where is Fitpatrick playing.

    Spencer is just going in the ruck, doing no more than breaking even. Fitzpatrick is alternating between ruck and forward but only has one goal. This is about their standard.

    Meanwhile, a miskick from Davis gifts the lead to Frankston whose pressure is fantastic.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
